Wright Answers Editorial; Releases Admission Certification Figures 


Responding, in part, to 
questions posed in a recent 
editorial by Leonard S. In¬ 
skip '51, Stanley V, Wright, 
the director of admissions 
for men, has released the 
figures of a survey dealing 
with the admission certifica¬ 
tion of male undergraduates, 
both from a sample year in 
the mid-thirties and from 
the present freshman, sopho¬ 
more, and junior classes. 
Mr. Inskip had asked in his 
editorial of April 26, 1951, 

" Would the Director of Ad¬ 
missions care to state what 
percentage of the freshman 
men last fall had been ad¬ 
mitted by special selection?” 

Men who were not admitted by 



normal certification have to 
be accepted by special selec¬ 
tion. For certification, al I 
applicants are required to 
present fifteen academic 
units, each unit representing 
a year's study in any subject 
in a secondary school, as 
specified in the Middlebury 
College catalogue. 

It was announced at the 
same time that the College 
Ru I 1 etin will once again 
read, in its section on ad¬ 
missions, that " the Com¬ 
mittee on Admissions (faculty 
members and the admissions 
director) may consider, un¬ 
der certain conditions, can¬ 
didates of unusual ability 
who cannot meet fully the 


prescribed requirements." The 
present catalogue stated, 
for the first time, that the 
Director of Admissions has 
the sole power to consider 
these special candidates. 

Mr. Wright’s figures are 
grouped according to four 
categories, ( 1 ) total number 
of male students entering 
class, ( 2 ) number of this 
group that were certified, 

(3) number not certified, and 

(4) percentage of men in the 
class who were accepted with¬ 
out certification. A sample 
class was selected at random 
from the 1930’s, as well as 
the present classes of '52, 
'53, and ’54. Also included 
in the survey was a breakdown 


of freshman men who were 
dropped from the college 
this February. 

In the sample class from 
the 1930’s, a total of 68 
out of 97 men, or 70“? of the 
entering class, were not 
certified according to pres¬ 
ent certification require¬ 
ments which do not give 
credit for courses such as 
vocational shop or freehand 
drawing. A smaller total of 
men, 48*7 to be exact, were 
not certified for admission 
in the present freshman, 
sophomore, andjunior classes. 
Out of a combined total of 
555 men in these three 
classes, Mr. W'right states 
that 268 men did not achieve 
certification approval. The 


Class of ’54, considered 
separately, contains 112 
men who were admitted without 
certification. This total 
represents 52% of the class. 
The breakdown of the men in 
the Class of ’ 54 , who have 
been dropped by the college 
for academic faiIure revenIs 
that 59% of them had been 
admitted under special con¬ 
ditions, other than certifi¬ 
cation. Of the 23 men in the 
present freshman class who 
were dropped at mid-semester 
and who had not been certi¬ 
fied, 7 had less than 12 
certification credits. Mr. 
Wright also revealed that 
the average certification 
credit total dfthose men who 
did not certify was 12 units. 



VOL. XLVII 


MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE, MIDDLEBURY, VT., MAY 24, 1951 


NUMBER 27 


Speakers Named 
For Graduation 

Wayne A. .Johnston, presi¬ 
dent of the Illinois Central 
Railroad, is to be the 
speaker at the 1951 commence- 
nent exercises. Mr. Johnston, 
«ho will speak at the field 
bouse on June 18 at 10:30 
a.m., graduated from the 
University of Illinois in 
1917 and started working for 
the Illinois Central in 1919 
as an accountant in the of¬ 
fice of the division super¬ 
intendent. Working his way 
up through the positions of 
chief clerk, office manager, 
assistant vice-president, 
and general manager, he be¬ 
came president in 1945; a 
position which he holds now. 
Resides his executive posi¬ 
tion on the railroad, Mr. 
Johnston is a member of the 
national executive boards of 
both the Roy Scouts of 
America and the Y.M.C.A.i nod 
is president of the Dads’ 
Association of DePaul Uni¬ 
versity and of the Old 
People’s Rome in Chicago. 

The RaccaI aureate speaker 
who will speak in Mend Chapel 
at 10:45 a.m. cyi June 17, is 
to be Rev. Douglas V. Reed of 
St. Augustine’s Vicarage in 
Kent, England. The Rev. Mr. 
Reed is a friend of Dr. Stuart 
Ross, trustee, of Rutland, 
who became acquainted with 
him while in the navy during 
World War II. 


Freeman To Head 
School In France 

Dr. Stephen A. Freeman, 
vice-president of Middlebury 
College and director of the 
Language Schools, will travel 
to Paris, France, next fall 
to supervise the Middlebury 
graduate school of French 
during its first semester. 
The present school is running 
under a new system which was 
inaugurated by Dr. Freeman 
in 1949. This system is es¬ 
pecially designed for Ameri¬ 
can students, since it pro¬ 
vides a program of study in 
the American style. Suc¬ 
cessful candidates receive 
masters degrees recognized 
in this country. 

A similar piogram of study 
will be instituted at the 
recently established gradu¬ 
ate school of Spanish in 
Madrid. Dr. Freeman, as¬ 
sisted by Mr. Del Rio and 
Professor Guarnaccia of the 
Spanish department, will 
a I so supervise this school 
and will visit Madrid during 
his stay abroad. 



Many Students Plan Travel Abroad 
For Summer of Study and Relaxation 


A trip abroad is in view 
for many Midd students this 
year. Some are traveling on 
their own or with The Experi¬ 
ment in International Living, 
and others will be studying 
or working with the American 
Friends Service Committee. 
Several countries including 
England, Holland and Austria 
have scheduled music festi¬ 
vals, while Paris is cele¬ 
brating her 2000th Anniver¬ 
sary this summer. 

Among the '* Experimenters" 
are Lucia Howard ’52 and 
Patricia McKenna '53, who 
are going to France; Anne 
Upson ’52, Austria; Mary 
Jane Rowen ’53 and Elizabeth 
Cox ’53, Holland; Nana Dean 
’53, England; Marion Seymour 
’53, Germany; and Mary Weeks 
’53, Norway. These students 
will spend a month living 
with a family in their chosen 
country and the remainder of 
the summer traveling with 
their group or by themselves. 
Some of the groups are plan¬ 
ning bicycle, hiking, and 


camping trips through Eng¬ 
land, France, Germany, Italy 
and Switzerland. 

The American Friends Serv¬ 
ice Committee sponsors a plan 
under which Americans are 
sent to work camps in dif¬ 
ferent parts of the world. 
This is based on the belief 
that one way of achieving 
peace is through the under¬ 
standing which comes from 
working with people of other 
nations. Marianne Dennis ’53

Cook Appointed Advisor 

Dr. Reginald L. Cook, pro¬ 
fessor of American liter¬ 
ature, has been appointed 
faculty advisor to the CAMPUS 
for the coming academic year 
by President Samuel S. Strat¬ 
ton. Prof. Cook, chairman of 
the American literature de¬ 
partment and director of the 
Rreadloaf School of English 
since 1945, has been on sab¬ 
batical leave during the past 
year. 


Wissler Due For 
Honorary Degree 

Prof. Benjamin F. Wissler, 
head of the department of 
physjes at Middlebury Col¬ 
lege, will be awarded the 
honorary degree of Doctor of 
Science by Muhlenberg Col¬ 
lege, Allentown, Pa., at Com¬ 
mencement exercises Monday, 
June 4, according to an an¬ 
nouncement made by the col lege. 

A member of the Middlebury 
faculty since 1930, Prof. 
Wissler received his B.S. de¬ 
gree from Muhlenberg and A.M. 
degree from Columbia in 1932. 
He became a full professor at 
Middlebury in 1942. 


C. E. Kildare Wins 
French Award 

Carolyn F-. Kildare ’53, 
was awarded the French prize 
by Dr. Stephen A. Freeman in 
Mead Memorial Chapel on Tues¬ 
day, May 22. The scholarship 
amounting to 5125 has been 
awarded each year since the 
war by the French government 
because of its interest in 
the work of the French School 
and the Chateau. The scholar¬ 
ship is awarded on the basis 
of interest in the French 
language and civilization, 
and ability in the field be¬ 
side general scholastic abil¬ 
ity and merit. 


Withdrawal Rules, Grades 
Revised At Faculty Meeting 


A new definition of grade values, an amendment to the 
regulation on withdrawals, and a new policy on grant¬ 
ing course credit for students voluntarily enlisting 
for service were voted by the faculty at their monthly 
meeting on May 15. 

Replacing the detailed description of grades which 
has been published in the catalogue and handbook for 


Dorm Advisors, 
Proctors Chosen 

Eight men and thirty-four 
women were appointed Dor¬ 
mitory Proctors and Junior 
Counsellors last week. 

The Dormitory Proctors for 
1951-52 will be Raymond A. 
Ablondi ’52 and Daniel S. 
Scott '52, Gifford Mali; 
Philip E. Barton ’52 and 
John W. M. Clark ’53, Starr 
Mall; William D. Cronin ’52 
and Frederick D. Klee ’53, 
Hepburn Mall; and William .1. 
Cahill '53 and Kevin R. 
O’Connor ’53, Painter Moll. 

Selected by the committee 
consisting of the Dean of 
Men, the [)ean of Women, the 
President of the Undergradu¬ 
ate Association, and the 
Chairman of the Student Ed¬ 
ucational Policy Committee, 
the Proctors were chosen on 
the basis of leadership po¬ 
tentialities, sense of re-

several decades, the new 
definition of grade values 
follows a simplified version 
used by colleges such as 
Wesleyan, Kenyon, Oberlin, 
Dennison, and Williams. 
Grades between 90 and 100 
(A) will be hereafter de¬ 
fined simply as “ excel lent, " 
80 to 89 (R) as " good,” 70 
to 79 '(C) " fair," 60 to 
69 (D) “ passing," below 

60 (F) " failure” . 

The major reasons for mak¬ 
ing the change were to re¬ 
assert both to faculty and 
students that a grade in the 
60’s is passing, to remove 
the impression that 70 is the 
borderline between passing 
and failure, and to dininish 
the number of so-called 
" flat 7 0 ’ s ' ’ . It is be¬ 
lieved that this chunge may 
constitute a tightening of 
standards in that D’s will 
be given with less reluc¬ 
tance to students doing 
frankly inferior work, since 
students may not accumulate

"The -f)dlnti55ion5 Statement 

Loss of a faculty voice in the admissions procedure, 
coupled with an anticipated rise in the number of men 
students accepted for admission without regular certif¬ 
ication, has caused serious criticism of the adnissions 
policy of the college. On the front page of this issue, 
Stanley V. Wright, the director of admissions for men, 
has attempted to answer these critics in a direct, 
straightforward analysis of adherence to certification 
requirements, and of the relation of certification to 
failures. In addition, the announcement of reinstate¬ 
ment of the faculty voice via the committee on admis¬ 
sions is revealed. Mr. Wright’s survey has contributed 
new facts upon which to base further discussion. 

FACULTY VOICE RESTORED 

The news that the college catalogue will once again 
state, “The Committee on Admissions is wil ling to con¬ 
sider, under certain conditions, candidates of unusual 
ability who cannot meet fully the prescribed require¬ 
ment,” is welcomed by this department. Investigation as 
to the source of the original change has not been suc¬ 
cessful. The administration, itself, cl aims that the 
author of the first revision which changed “ Committee 
on Admissions” to read “Director of Admissions” is 
unknown. Ihe important fact, however, is that the error 
has been rectified. We commend the administration for 
their quick action, which we believe is endorsed by a 
majority of students and faculty. 

The bulk of Mr. Wright’s survey is concerned with the 
changing number of men students who have been accepted 
for admission by certification. Any discussion of chang¬ 
ing certification percentages should first consider the 
value of the system. Although some educators believe 
the certification procedure, whereby applicants, re¬ 
gardless of school or class standing, are required to 
present academic units, each representing a year’s study 
in any subject in secondary school, is outmoded, the 
stystem is still used by a number of colleges, in¬ 
cluding Middlebury. Our rules state that for certifica¬ 
tion, applicants are “ required to present fifteen 
units."The number, although arbitrary, is fixed. Cer¬ 
tification, a pre-requisite for admission, may be cir¬ 
cumvented by several exceptions enumerated in the cata¬ 
logue. Among others, these exceptions include “ quali¬ 
fied veterans whose education was interrupted by war, 
and • • • men students who present evidence of maturity, 
earnestness of purpose, and unusual ability. ” Special 
selection is the alternative to certification. 

PURPOSE OF THE CERTIFICATION SYSTEM 

The certification ruling was designed with a definite 
purpose. It provides a systematized standard to which 
all candidates must adhere. If the scholastic aptitude 
tests may be considered a qualitative index of ad¬ 
missions candidates, the certification requirements 
provide a quantitative standard. In addition, they pre¬ 
sent to the director of admissions a fixed guide for 
measuring students. If used seriously, certification 
can be an aid to the admissions, office, and not just 
obselete hinderance. 

The important results of Mr. Wright's survey are not 
that less students are being admitted today without 
certification than in the 1930’s, but rather the two¬ 
fold conclusion that (1) more than half of the men in 
the current freshman, sophomore, and junior classes 
have been accepted without certification, and (2) of 
the total number of men in the Class of ’54 who have 
been dropped by the college for academic failure, 59% 
had been accepted without certification. 

Clearly, there are more exceptions to the certifica¬ 
tion ruling than adherents. As we see it, the certifi¬ 
cation ruling should be an integral part of the ad¬ 
missions procedure. At the present time it is not. If 
certification continues to be listed as a requirement 
for admission, it should be just that, a requirement 
for admission. If the rule is no longer followed, then 
it should be stricken from the catalogue. In view of 
the 5 q % non-certification failures, however, we wonder 
if closer adherence to certification procedure would 
result in the selection of students better qualified for 
college work. 


Sanford Reviews New Frontiers; 
Finds Traces of "Lost Generation” 


By Charles L. Sanford - In¬ 
structor in American Liter¬ 
ature 

The tragedy of men and 
women is not that we die, 
but that we die before wc 
have had a chance to com¬ 
municate to others our 
pitifully small under¬ 
standing of ourselves. 
Literature is but a mag¬ 
nificent protest against 
all this inability, as 
are, indeed, all the arts. 
War, injustice, intoler¬ 
ance form the other side 
of the picture. They are 
monstrous proof of man s 
inability to talk to man. 

Clifton Fadiman 

What has the younger gen¬ 
eration of writers repre¬ 
sented in the last issue of 
FRONTIERS to say for itself 
and its society? What are 
its chief preoccupations, 
its favorite mode of ex¬ 
pression, its dominant tem¬ 
per, its literary models? 
Is it another " lost gen¬ 
eration" in another post-war 
era, or is it a saner gen¬ 
eration, more certain of its 
values and its objectives? 
What is it for, and what is 
it against? 

There is not, in these 
stories and poems in FRON¬ 
TIERS, the same fierce reck¬ 
lessness and rage to drive 
life into a corner which 
characterized the original 
lost generation, butthere 
can be observed, I believe, 
a certain disillusionment, 
an earnest search for ,a body 
of beliefs, and awareness of 
modern man’s isolation from 
his fellowman. Caryl En- 


Carr Hall, the newest ad¬ 
dition to the Middlebury 
College buildings, will mark 
its official opening with an 
exhibit of paintings and 
other collections on the 
Sunday afternoon of Com¬ 
mencement, June 17. The 
building will be open to 
the public, and all are 
cordially invited to view it 
on that day. 

The exhibits will be ar¬ 
ranged in such a way as to 
take one through most of the 
building. The entrance hall 
will feature portraits and 
landscapes of Middlebury 
from the 18th century to 
today, some of which have 
been lent by Middlebury’s 
Sheldon Museum and others, 
anonymously. One of con¬ 
temporary interest is a 
painting of Frog Hollow 
by Nicholas U. Comito, and 
lent by artist. 

The library on the first 
floor will feature a col- 


To The Ed i tor: 

The time is way overdue 
when someone should speak in 
favor, for once, of the col¬ 
lege administration. More 
often than not, when the ad¬ 
ministration or some office 
of it is mentioned, the re¬ 
marks are destructively crit¬ 
ical. This holds true of bull- 
sessions and it holds true 
of CAMPUS editorials. 

In was stated in the last 
issue’s front page editorial 
that the vandals who igno- 
miniously gave the flagpole 
the old heave-ho represented 
“ mistakes made in the Ad¬ 
missions office." How, pray 
tell, is the Admissions of¬ 
fice to determine the future 
actions of prospective stu¬ 
dents? Point out the college 
that has succeeded, through 
the Admissions office or 
otherwise, in ending student 
pranks; and then please re¬ 
mind me not to send my chil- 


twistle analyzes through the 
mind of an adolescent girl, 
a sick society aboard ship 
on its "Last Day Out." 
Though the ship is soon to 
arrive at its home port., there 
is no hope left with the 
reader that the three main 
characters, all up-rooted, 
will be reconciled to society. 

Leonard Inskip, revisiting 
Europe one year after the 
Allied victory, finds that 
the Americans have only con¬ 
quered the bodies of their 
enemies and left distrust 
and hatred in the minds of 
their friends. In the stories 
of George Wedge and Patsy 
McKenna, both splendidly ex¬ 
ecuted and subtly under¬ 
stood, there is misunder¬ 
standing and betrayal be¬ 
tween brother and sister, 
unwittingly abetted by mother 
and father. George Wedge's 
denouement symbolically comes 
on Easter Sunday, and ironic 
reversal of the transfig¬ 
uration in the Christian 
myth. Patsy McKenna also 
employs a religious frame of 
reference, though the main 
conflict is the psychological 
one between the brothers. 
Both she a nd Bill Sommers are 
seekers of the Word. Bill 
Sommers reveals in his un¬ 
convincing last lines of 
" Meditations for a Book of 
Hours" that he cannot ac¬ 
cept with his heart what he 
cannot believe with his mind. 
The secular values of the 
American society comes in for 
some heavy attacks too, as 
evidenced by John Emerson's 
satirical thrust at a repre¬ 
sentative of the aristocarcy 
of wealth. 

The hands of Ernest Heming- 


lection of books from the 
library of Mr. Carr as well 
as the oriental collection of 
Dr. Albert Davis Mead, who 
served as a trustee of Mid¬ 
dlebury College from 1933 to 
1946. These are on temporary 
loan from the Sheldon Museum. 

The print room opposite, 
which is used byother de¬ 
partments, will feature 19th 
century prints from the Fine 
Arts Collection as well as 
some lent by Mr. F. a rl E. 
Cushman, notable as a grad¬ 
uate of the college, Class of 
1895. 

The visitor on arriving on 
the second floor may examine 
an exhibit of paintings by 
American'artists. In this 
group are examples by such 
notewortHy figures as Charles 
Burchfield, Beginald Marsh, 
Edward Hopper, Ogden Pleis- 
sner, Andrew Wyeth, Yasuo 
Kuniyoshi, William Zorach,

dren there. 

Too often the unfortunate 
attitude of students is that 
the administration, faculty, 
trustees, and even alumni 
continually make life miser¬ 
able for the students. The 
fact that they are there to 
serve the students and the 
college, that to a very large 
extent they have done this 
at Middlebury, apparently is 
taken as too simple a view 
for even momentary consider¬ 
ation. 

Finally, in reference to 
the last assertion of your 
editorial, I have enough con¬ 
fidence in the maturity of 
tha administration to doubt 
that the " impact" of the 
flagpole prank will effect 
the future of either the 
chapel program or the men’s 
student government. In re¬ 
spect to this and the above, 
your editorial was overdrawn. 

Ran ton Bond '51 


way and T, S. Eliot hang 
heavily over all these writ- 
ers, but the single word 
which best characterizes 
their work is "psycholog. 
ical." the story-writers are 
masters of James’ " re¬ 
stricted point of view” with¬ 
out James’ tenuousness of 
style. The credit for stylis¬ 
tic directness and the con¬ 
versational idiom must go to 
Hemingway. Only once does 
George Wedge slip seriously 
out of character, Sometimes 
too, he does not seem to 
realize that he does not 
present a literal tran¬ 
script, but a stylized inter¬ 
pretation, of a child’s mind, 
and consequently he intro¬ 
duces an inappropriate 
“ grabbed ahold." The main 
insights of these writers 
come, directly or indirectly, 
from Freud, Jung, "Alder et 
dl. One wonders whether Caryl 
Entwistle, with her under¬ 
standing of inferiority, 
compensation, has read T/ie 
Lure of Superiority ! In gen¬ 
eral, they possess the Freud¬ 
ian insight into the formu- 
lative influence of the child¬ 
hood years. Most of the 
stories and poems deal with 
children or childhood ex¬ 
periences. All the stories 
"and poems are concerned with 
the quality of the inner ex¬ 
perience and the deeper 
psychology. The poems es¬ 
pecially are constructed on 
the psychological order of 
reality and on what Eliot 
calls “ the logic of the 
imagination." For two poets, 
Francis MacHae and Margaret 
Nasmith, the imagination 
seems to represent a place of 
-retreat, though Miss Nasmith 
is less " private" than the 
former. The " mirror" meta¬ 
phors in the poems ** Be- 
flections" by a nfewcomer to 
FRONTIERS. Martha Turner, 
and ” How Shall I Know If 
You Are You" By Patsy Mc¬ 
Kenna indicate further the 
common desire to discover 
deeper meanings beneath the 
facade of reality. The liter¬ 
ary quality of this last is¬ 
sue of FRONTIERS is uneven, 
but its writers, without ex¬ 
ception, must be commended 
for their epistemological 
awareness and their willing¬ 
ness to come to grips with 
real problems. They will''not 
remain " lost" if they con¬ 
tinue to search for their 
" middle ground" with as 
much sanity as they have dis¬ 
played in these pages. 

(Mr. Sanford's review is 
necessarily incomplete be¬ 
cause of difficulties in get¬

Closely related to this is 
the new regulation on with¬ 
drawals for academic fail¬ 
ure: " At the end of either 
semester (after the first 
semester of the freshman 
year) any student who re¬ 
ceives failing grades in two 
courses or an average below 
65 is dropped from College.” 
The regulation deletes the 
old clause which called for 
dropping students with three 
D’s. In the opinion of the 
faculty, there was an in¬ 
consistency in requesting the 
withdrawal of a student who 
was doing passing work in all 
courses, when three grades 
were in the high D's, such 
as 67, 69, and 66. A study of 
grades showed that the new 
regulation would be in keep¬ 
ing with what had been the 
actual practice over a long 
period of years, since stu¬ 
dents wi th three high D’s have 
usually been readmitted or 
continued in college on pro¬ 
bation or warning. The re¬ 
quirement of the 65 average 
will be rigidly enforced. 

During the present period 
of " one-quarter mobiliza¬ 
tion" students volunteering 
for service before the end 
of a semester may no longer 
receive credit for work of 
that semester. The policy is 
in line with the generally 
accepted thesis that " a stu¬ 
dent serves his country best 
by remaining in college,” 
and will be in force only 
during the current mobiliza¬ 
tion status. Exceptions will 
be made for students called 
to active duty in Reserve or 
National Guard units. 

As an encouragement for 
students to continue with 
their education while in 
service, courses successfully 
completed under “ Operation 
Bootstrap" wiI 1 be honored 
for Middlebury credit. 
“ Operation Bootstrap” is 
an expansion of the U. S. 
Armed Forces Institute type 
of academic training, for

MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE, MIDDLEBURY, VT„ MAY 24, 1951 


Midd Aims For State Title Over Weekend 


Trinity Winner 
In Track Meet; 
State Meet Next 

Middlebury's track squad 
will end their season the 
day after tomorrow in state 
competition at Burlington 
where they will be competing 
against Vermont and Norwich. 
Last Saturday against Trin¬ 
ity, the Middmen were swamped 
as the more powerful winners 
from Hartford crushed the 
RJue and White 81-45. One 
promising feature was West’s 
final conquest of the elusive 
century. Although George had 
previously been unofficially 
clockbd at 9 . 7 s and at 9 . 8 s, 
this time he won the dash in 
an official 9.9s. Ablondi 
also continued to show his 
skill by running a close 
second iiv the 440. 

In the first of four dual 
meets this year, against 
Williams, the runners as a 
whole took a bad defeat, 
but still there were some 
good opening performances on 
the part of Midd competitors. 
Don Faber, only a sophomore, 
managed to win the hammer 
throw, the only time this 
year that the Blue and White 
entered in this event in 
dual meets, with a lusty 
128' 3”. Don’s fellow sopho¬ 
more, George West, began to 
show his talents on the track 
with a ] 0 ,ls hundred and a 
22.5s 220 yard dash, .lunior 
Dick Daily also showed prow¬ 
ess as he took first in the 
high hurdles and third in the 
I ows. 

Two weeks later the track- 
sters took on Hamilton and 
weilded a 65-61 victory. It 
was in this clash that West 
began to show his real powers 
as he garnered fifteen points 
for the winners and broke an 
old record in the 220. He 
cut down his century to ten 
seconds flat, lowered the 
220 mark down to 22.8 and 
showed his reserve in a 
20 ’ 1 ” broad jump that tied 
down the win. Sophomore Dick 
Ireland began to show promise 
by trailing Daily closely 
in both hurdles. 

Nine days ago the squad 
really began to look powerful 
as a unit. They handily put 
down Champlain 72-54. Two 
new faces began to take on 
importance in this contest. 
Ray Ablondi and Roger May 
each took eight points toward 
the win. Ablondi won the 440 
and seconded the 880 as did 
May with the two mile and 
one mile runs respectively. 
West, Daily, Ireland, and 
Kddy all continued tpshow 
their reliability accounting 
for a total of 31 markers. 


Sailors 


Sailing against the best 
teams in the Last, including 
Harvard, MIT, Poston Col¬ 
lege, Georgetown, Coast 
Guard, Tufts, Rhode Island 
and Princeton, Middle bury 
finished ninth in a field 
of ten in the Boston Dinghy 
Club Cup Regatta at MIT on 
May 19-20. 

Ld Gleason and Ralph Gun- 
dersen composed one team while 
Kate Alexander and Sue Goyne 
made up the second. Good 
performances on the second 
day failed to make up for an 
extremely slow start. 

Harvard won the meet with 
a two point margin over MIT. 

The sailing season ends 
this weekend when a quad¬ 
rangular meet will be held 
at Hanover in place of the 
regularly scheduled com¬ 
petition on Lake Dunmore. 

The Sailing Club, with 
twelve scheduled regattas 
for the spring season, cap¬ 
tured four first places, 
one third, one fourth and 
one eighth place. The other 
meets were not entered or 
were cancel led.

St. Mike's, Norwich Games 
To Decide State Champion 

By Roger May 

The Vermont State champion race will go down to the 
wire this weekend when Coach Dick Ciccolella’s Pan¬ 
thers play two crucial away games with Norwich and St. 
Michael’s. Middlebury is currently tied with St. Mike’s 
for first place in the state standings and if the Pan¬ 
thers can get by Norwich tomorrow, then the stage will 
be set for an ideal season finale at Winooski Park

A BLOW AT TRINITY 

football enjoyed only a fair season as 
far as the records go, but one Saturday fans 
enjoyed a few spine tingling moments as 
Ralph Loveys and Dick Allen put the damper 
on mighty Trin ily with two quick TT)’ s in the 
first minutes of the game. Impossible, sure, 
but those with long memories remembered 
what had happened to the future insurance 
agents two years before. Unfortunately Trin¬ 
ity came back to take this game but Loveys’ 
quick recovery and beautiful run of a Ban¬ 
tam fumble, and Allen’s dash around into the 
end zone only five minutes later are plays 
to remember. 

Pete Perryman, ns captain of the cross¬ 
country team, emerged from the shadow cast 
over him by Jim Newman for four years to 
lead his mates over five mile courses all 
fall. It’s a great sport -- to look back on 
when the season’s over. 

Basketball got off to a bad start. When 
the wind blew the roof off their brand new 
field house they had to revert to the high 
school gym, and sometimes it looked as if 
they were piny ing high school hall. However, 
early season critics had to eat their words 
on one memorable night as familiar figures 
took fire against their traditional rivals 
and bent Vermont 61-55. Loveys, Nightingale 
and a fellow n amed Jim Ross, who hadn't 
been mentioned much in lineups previously, 
with sparkling, heads-up ball. It was Dick 
Ciccolella's last game as Midd hoop coach. 

A WINNING HOCKEY TEAM 

The '* punch line,’’ bolstered by a 
team that had depth all around, brought 
twelve victories against two loses to Pan¬ 
ther hockey fans. Adherents of the flash¬ 
ing blades are becoming happier and happier 
each year as hockey gets a bigger and a 


magnitude are dangled in this neck of the 
woods, but a lot of top skiers have been 
drawn here for some reason. It must be the 
girls. Take Tom Jacobs -- he got named to 
the Olympic team without even competing in 
the trials. Then there is a guy from Pitts¬ 
field named Verne J. Goodwin who showed 
them how to do it at Sun Valley where he 
was named to the Olympic team. The nearest 
thing to seeing Fuzz perform in person at 
Mt. Raldy came with Petc'Cascio, who risked 
life, limb and his career at college (he 
missed three weeks of classes) to get the 
pictures, showed colored films of the races 
in Munroe 303 at a quarter per person. 

BASEBALL HIGHLIGHTS 

The national pastimers won five straight 
before they ran into fate’s hard wall. On 
that day, against St. Lawrence, Bill Cahill 
stood out in right field in place of the 
team’s slugger, Rob Stalker, who had a 
pulled muscle. On a wicked line drive he 
slipped and let the ball go by him as two 


in the eighth inning. Don 
McCuin failed to stop the 
Panthers for the second time 
this season, but reliefer

Ogden Stars In 
Lacrosse Loss 

Last Saturday afternoon 
the Njidd La-crossers went 
down to their sixth defeat 
as Springfield College came 
out on top 12-7 at Lang Field. 

This ganie was-by far the 
best that the Panthers have 
played to date. Maroon stick- 
men, heavier than the home 
players, showed ability as 
a well working unit. The 
score remained fairly even 


runs scored for the lorries. The next inning until half time when it was 


Cahill stepped to the plate and, with a man 
on, blaster out to the bank in left field. 
It was a home run which tied the score. Ca¬ 
hill appeared to have redeemed his error but 
the game was lost 23-12. 

The track team was saved from the deepest 
depths by the performances of George West, 
sprinter, who managed to break the Midd 220 
record. The tennis team appears to be on 
the way to an unbeaten season with one of 
the strongest of Midd teams. 

It is impossible to say whether we will 
have another season as successful as the 
last. One thing is sure -- yours trulywill 
be out training early in September for 
cross-country because, although he may not 
be in the upper half, he is a physical wreck 
and no army would take him. 


6-5 in favor of the visitors. 
In the third period, however, 
Springfield pushed good shots 
past the Midd goal and went 
ahead. 

Scoring for Midd were Og¬ 
den (2), Worthington (2)> 
Kroec'k (1), Atwill ( 1 ), 
Hughes ( 1 ) and Dix (1). Ag¬ 
gressive play by the Pan¬ 
thers made it a better strug¬ 
gle than the score indicates. 

The last contest of the 
year was played yesterday 
against Union on the home 
field. The Panthers went in¬ 
to the game still looking for 
their first win.

Baseball 

Continued from page 4 
Rernie Ravenna stopped Mid- 
dlebury cold for the final 
four innings. Roth teams ac¬ 
counted for 10 hits. Bob 
Stalker and Wendell Forbes 
led the Middlebury attack 
with three safe blows apiece. 

Earlier last week Middle¬ 
bury edged the Catamounts of 
UVM 4-2 on Storrs’ three- 
hitter and his fourth win. 
Stalker took over the hero’s 
role in the game by slamming 
a tie-breaking two-run home 
run in the eighth inning. 

Vermont took a 1-0 lead 
in the first inning on two 
of their three singles and a 
fly ball. The Panthers came 
back with a run in the fourth 
on singles by Ed Coppinger, 
Jerry O'Neil, and Rruce Cur¬ 
tis, but Ray Vascovi homered 
in the fifth to put Vermont 
in front 2-1. Poor fielding 
put Middlebury back in the 
game in the sixth inning. 
Mike Hunt singled, and on 
his steal of second base, 
the ball wound up in the out¬ 
field and Hunt scored. 

In the eighth inning, after 
Dale Ciffin had singled, 
Stalker stepped in and took 
two quick strikes from Don 
McCuin. Then he watched three 
balls go by and slammed a 
home run into left center 
field and borke up the game.
